until the night train went out. That was
Just before the dinner hour. When meal
time was announced the man from Indi-
ana advanced to the counter and asked
where the sink was. l knew what he
wanted, and waved my hand in the direc-
tion Of the washroom. He started off,
and in about a minute heard loud laugh
ter from the people outside in the corridor.
